The UK's experience in privatisation shows that very quickly companies like QinitiQ and Serco will get control of nationally sensitive infrastructure, and bog it down with useless terms of contract and even more useless working practices.
So basically. TSA becomes mostly administrative/Inspector. Makes sure the Private Outfits are keeping things up to snuff. Maybe keep a handful of actual agents there. For the instances or exceptions where actual Federal Employees might be needed.
But aside from that. The bulk of their operations are outsourced to Private Security Companies and Rent-a-cops.
